When I counted the 500 diphones, I didn't take syllabic consonants into account, which create 136 more diphones. So there's a total of 636. Still doing better than most languages, though. Here are the extra diphones. Let a capital letter represent a syllabic consonant: .L bL cL dL fL gL jL kL mL nL pL rL sL tL vL xL zL .M bM cM dM fM gM jM kM lM nM pM rM sM tM vM xM zM .N bN cN dN fN gN jN kN lN mN pN rN sN tN vN xN zN .R bR cR dR fR gR jR kR lR mR nR pR sR tR vR xR zR L.

Rb Rc Rd Rf Rg Rj Rk Rl Rm Rn Rp Rs Rt Rv Rx Rz Is there ever a syllabic consonant next to a vowel? That'd create 48 more diphones. -- la rab.spir noi listygau le relsna
